I like to get to California at least once a year. I was pretty good about it for a few years (NYC income + multiple vacations = opportunity). But my last trip was over winter break of 2009 and although it technically is last year it feels a lot longer. I'm really glad I get to go there again this year. It still is weird that my sister has lived there for such a long time, it makes visits more important.
So we'll be there from Monday to Friday. Agenda so far for the Matteson's includes: Yosemite, Las Vegas, Disneyland(world?), and downtown LA. Agenda for me and Harrison is simple and straight forward: beach, coffee shops, promenade and naps. We are excited.
However, I am nervous (very nervous actually), because I am going to be THAT lady with a baby on a long flight. I have no idea as to how Harrison will react to his first flight. I myself am a nervous flier and having to entertain a baby for the whole trip is daunting. Do you think a baby can eat for 5 hours straight? Because that seems to be my only plan... What other things can I do to keep baby occupied?
Little Bug Harrison
Little Bird Harrison
Little Star Harrison
(sadly little boy is...losing his brown locks of hair! I'm holding out hope they will return curly :))

were you able to book a flight around the time harrison naps? whenever possible, we always try to fly when it's around hana's nap time. we make sure she doesn't fall asleep to and at the airport, feed her lots before we take off, and then, at least for us, she'd be wiped out for at least a few hours.
i don't know about traveling with a 5 month old is like anymore(ha!) but maybe buying him a new trinket of some sort and introduce it to him on the flight might keep him occupied. i always buy something new for hana and she gets excited to see it when we board the plane.
just a few things that's worked for us.
thanks megumi :) I have a layover for an hour and a half, hopefully he'll play during that time and sleep the others!
